tbf there was still rationing in the UK until 1954

Also the first Indian restaurant in the UK opened in 1810!

I've got a guidebook to Soho from the 50s which describes pizza as a round welsh rarebit.

Not only that but it was the world's first Indian restaurant

(i might be wrong about that, but I'm sure I read it somewhere that for whatever reason it was counted as the first actual Indian restuarant, but that's hard to believe)

Youd have thought idk some lad in delhi mightve considered the concept but it seems not

you would, but maybe indoor dining in the restaurant style as opposed to home cooking / street food just wasnt a thing? I dunno, I'm going off hearsay

So the guy who opened the first Indian restaurant (in the UK, definitely; in the West, probably; in the world, possibly) also introduced shampoo and shampooing to Europe... probably.

Shampoo does come from Hindi iirc

Back in the 50s they just used carbolic soap and water

Imagining the disgustingness of the English in a pre-shampoo era

Death cult this, death cult that, everything is a death cult these days. Where oh where are the sex cults of our youth? You point me out an honest sex cult today and I’ll eat my hat. Except the “P. C. Brigade" won’t allow us our hats any longer, oh no. The last time I dared wear a hat a pack of feral Youths broke into my foyer, stole the hat right off my head, and stabbed it with knife crime. I could hear them sneering as they ran off down the road, tossing the tattered shreds of my hat into the gutter, onto the rotted-out urine-soaked husk of Society.

Sex is out. Death is in.

will no kids of today obsess over Nathanial Hawthorne?

We never had chicken of the sea. Chicken were strictly a land animal.

what about NXIVM, they seemed like a good old fashioned authoritarian, abusive sex cult

Used to be you could kick a child in the street. Where are all the children now? Indoors, staring slack jawed at their “Nintendos” and impregnating one another out of wedlock.

Unwed teenage mothers are literally booty dancing on the corpse of society while their babies do heroin with the “hip” new vicar.

And the absolute state of heroin these days!

Car dashboards used to be solid steel, meant to last.. now they're made out of Nerf! Gimme a break
